Ingredients

  • 6 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 tablespoons peanut or canola oil, divided
  • 4 ounces mushrooms, thinly sliced or cut into small chunks depending on your preference
  • 4 or 5 scallions, sliced thinly, reserve a small amount for garnish if you like
  • a few handfuls of roughly chopped pea shoots, or if you don't have access to those, then a few handfuls of thawed frozen peas or snow peas thinly sliced on the diagonal
  • 1 cup kimchi, thinly sliced
  • 4 cups cooked and cooled medium grain brown rice (or brown germinated rice)
  • 2 tablespoons lower sodium soy sauce
  • 1 - 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • sprinkle toasted sesame seeds
  • sprinkle nori flakes or thinly sliced from sheets

Method

  • Set a large skillet or wok over medium heat and once heated, add 1 tablespoon of the oil and then the eggs. I like to let it set a little like a thin omelet or crepe and then flip and scramble a little. You could also just scramble the eggs. Once cooked, remove eggs from pan to a plate and set aside. If you've let the eggs set omelet-like, cut into thin strips.
  • Add the other tablespoon of oil and raise heat to medium high and cook the mushrooms until they soften.
  • Add the scallions and pea shoots (or substitute) and cook a minute or two more.
  • Add the kimchi, rice and soy sauce and stir fry for another few minutes unti all contents have warmed through and are well combined. If the mixture seems dry, add a splash or two more soy sauce. If sodium is an issue, you can always sub a little no salt added chicken stock or even some water here.
  • Mix the eggs back in and toss gently and let rewarm.
  • Turn off heat and add 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Mix. Add more to taste.
  • Top with remaining scallions, nori and sesame seeds
